Emulsifiers for high-ratio shortenings

Palsgaard offers a number of emulsifiers for use in high-ratio shortenings. Whether you’re producing solid or liquid shortenings – for use in bread, cakes, puff pastries, confectionery or dairy applications – we'll have the product that’s just right for your needs.

Step up from commodity fat to high-ratio shortenings

At Palsgaard, we help oil and fat producers move from plain commodity fat to high-ratio shortenings (fat blends where fats are used as a carrier for the emulsifier). With high-ratio shortenings, you can achieve the desired emulsion stability, aeration and shelf-life, making it convenient and efficient for the end-user.

And if you need help adjusting recipes, technical support is never far away. We’ll be happy to share our expertise with you in our application centres in Denmark, Mexico and Singapore.

Our technical experts can help you trial high-ratio shortening recipes using Palsgaard's emulsifier systems, either with raw materials available at Palsgaard, or using your own special fats.

Emulsifiers for liquid shortening

Because they’re easier to handle in automated production processes, liquid shortenings have become increasingly popular with industrial bakers, confectionery manufacturers and spice blenders.

For bread and cakes, liquid shortenings can be used as a carrier for functional emulsifiers. Each emulsifier provides different functionalities in bread and cake systems, allowing you – with our help – to develop a liquid shortening with the exact qualities required by craft bakers or industrial bakeries.

Emulsifier applications and functionalities in shortening

Emulsifiers have different functionalities in shortening:

  • Mono- and diglycerides (E471) are commonly used in various foods and non-food applications. The main function of DMG in shortenings is to provide structure in the (liquid) shortening and starch complexing for anti-staling and crumb softening
  • PGE, Polyglycerol esters (E475) are widely used in the food industry as they combine hydrophilic and lipophilic properties in the same molecule. PGE is used in shortenings because of its ability to create air in the emulsion and stabilise it. When PGE is used in shortening, there must be 2-3% of water in the final recipe in order to activate the functionality of the PGE
